On National Geographic islander II in the Galapagos! — a month ago
Young and silky fruit balanced by a subtle, wise umami bready hit.
Effervescence meets earth. Fun and well-formed, but also shifting with time. A wine for those who've long since run out of love for "fresh" boring berries and oak blasts, that are actually ploughed with additives. This natural one has an opinion about life and is the more beautiful for it.
Can't wait to see what it ages into tomorrow as well, if the 1L bottle lasts that long. — 2 months ago
Medium ruby , garnet , with a bricking terracotta rim . More mature than the Clos Apalta , leather , cedar , dried spices, sous bois , musk. On the palate more rounded , sweet cassis , blackberry , roasted red pepper , sous bois and leather. Noticeable slightly drying tannins , good balanced acidity . Pretty good length with a coffee tinged, just slightly drying grafite finish . Mature but will drink well over the next 5 years or so . — 2 months ago
Blackberry, chocolate and spicy aromas. Medium tannins and juicy. Went nicely with a hamburger blended with mild jalapeño and cheese. I would get this wine again. — 2 months ago
Raspberry aroma, blackberry and cherry taste. Really smooth aftertaste, coats well. Tannins were noticeable, but not at all overpowering — 2 months ago

I was skeptical thinking because it was from Chile that it would be a dud. I was pleasantly surprised and think it can hold its own against some classified growths. Perfumed depth balance light bodied and a fairly long finish. — 16 days ago
